Did Kirk's rather *enthusiastic* execution of Nero bug you?

I don't get it. You are asking this on a Firefly forum, after everybody has already seen The Train Job, and thrilled that BDH Mal dispatched Crow with authority, albeit regret.
I feel like I missed the first couple sections of your discussion, before your OP.

Please explain how the singularity will with utmost certainty end Nero when it harmed not a hair of his the first time?

Ummmm, I'm confused now.
Didn't that scene go some'n like...
Spock: [after Kirk offers surrender terms to Nero] Captain, what are you doing?
Kirk: Showing them compassion. It may be the only way to earn peace with Romulus. It's logic, Spock, I thought you'd like that.
Spock: No, not really. Not this time.
What's this "enthusiastic execution" by Kirk that y'all are talking about?

The "You got it! Phasers & photon torpedoes fire."
Although, the posts herein have me leaning towards an "I can deal" attitude concerning it.

Sounds like gibberishisall.
The first one consumes a supernova sun plus Romulus, and leaves Nero's boat unharmed. I did not see any supernova suns reappearing where Nero or Spock popped out, nor for that matter Romulus. Why would not any of the structures of Romulus survive, or any of the spacecraft parked on Romulus, if the singularity were so different, as you claim?

The nova had already destroyed Romulus, the singularity just stopped the supernova.

So then you're saying the nova also reappeared in our time to consume more worlds, right? When did this happen, I don't recall any mention of this in the film.
